- Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
- The state of being unimpaired; soundness.
- The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.
The conversation turned toward a denigration of particular morals and I quickly check out. We all can agree that the infusion of the concept of "completeness" into the definition is significantly more provacative than what conservative, geriatrics think about goodness. (I don't say this to attack conservative values, but more over to attack the values of tired, old conventional thoughts.)
Everyone has an idea of what completeness is, but few of us have it. Like falling asleep quickly or smelling some kind of flower. Paris Hilton and Buddha. A few people feel comfortable in their own skin, but most people don't.
I drove to the Barber shop at the corner of First and Shaw and I listed to the horrible radio station, Y 101.1 (It's a social critique I'm working on).

I've never found completeness in trying to be my own self.
James, did you imply that Paris is comfortable in her skin?
she must be...she showin' it to everbody

I like this style of blogging where numerous, sometimes random links are included (such as in the "Paris Hilton" blog you linked to). But for some reason I MUST click on links before I go on reading the post, which means I get thrown into a maze of links and I have to find my way slowly, meticulously back out of the maze in order to continue reading the original post, making sure I have not missed any links on the way. I've never spent so much time on blogs as I just did, thanks to that Paris Hilton link. I need to fix this OCD tendency of mine if I'm ever going to read anything on blogs.
Oh, that's your bro's blog! Sweet!
No. Just this week I was thinking about my family's ethical will as it's called now. On the Irish/Scot side we have a family crest, and on my Danish side (half dane) we have family values that were written down in the 1800's before coming to the states.
I don't think old is bad and tired, and that new is original and unconventional. Making those things qualifiers seems dim to me.
I'm not talking about "old." I'm talking about values.
